Mu Xiaoya was so pissed that her entire face was twisted. She pulled a long face and went to touch up her makeup. She didn’t know why, but she really wanted to claw at Ye Shengge’s calm face.
Soon, the third retake started but it was still bad. As they did reshoots, it was one NG after another. The worse it was, the more pissed Mu Xiaoya got and she became more emotional as she acted. Compared to Ye Shengge, who had performed stably, Mu Xiaoya was like a clown.
No one believed that Ying Xue could tussle with Xue Ning for decades.
“Cut!” Xu Xiangjie yelled for the umpteenth time. “Rest for ten minutes! Mu Xiaoya, come here!”
Mu Xiaoya was certain that Xu Xiangjie was trying to embarrass her on purpose. Thus, she acted aloof when Xu Xiangjie talked to her and did not listen.
Ye Shengge walked to Mu Xiaoya’s side and said, “Xue Ning is just a concubine. She’s nothing compared to the princess who’s been doted on by the emperor. Ying Xue didn’t think much of Xue Ning in the first place, so when she asked Xue Ning to move out, she’s supposed to be arrogant and nonchalant, not furious.”
Mu Xiaoya stood up abruptly and said, “I know how to act. I don’t need you to speak needlessly.”
“Speak needlessly?” Ye Shengge smiled. “Mu Xiaoya, have you forgotten how you’ve gotten all your roles? I have been coaching you for all your roles.”
“Shut up!” Mu Xiaoya was shaking with anger. “I can do it without your teaching!”
“I hope so. If you don’t act well, I’m afraid Director Xu will have to replace you.” Ye Shengge smiled. “It’s only the start of the show, and it won’t be a big loss.”
Mu Xiaoya’s face changed completely.
Mu Xiaoya couldn’t perform suitably for this scene, so Director Xu had to put a X on his list and arrange for a reshoot another time.
“I don’t think Mu Xiaoya’s acting skills when I normally watch TV.”
“That’s right! What happened to her today? It’s like she no longer knows how to act.”
“If she’s like this in the future, when would we be able to finish shooting?”
…
Mu Xiaoya almost went crazy when she heard the crew talking.
Was she going to fail a shoot without Ye Shengge?
No, Xu Xiangjie must’ve embarrassed her on purpose. He had an affair with Ye Shengge, so of course he would help her.
Mu Xiaoya couldn’t help gulp.
Lin Qi also handed the cup to Ye Shengge. “What happened to Mu Xiaoya today? Has she always been so terrible?”
Ye Shengge smiled and said, “She’s not that bad, but I was the one in the scene with her today. She wanted to overwhelm me so much, but it turned out to be bad.”
In the end, Mu Xiaoya lacked confidence in front of her. She knew very well that she had relied on Ye Shengge to get to where she was today, so in front of Ye Shengge, she couldn’t be as calm as Ying Xue was toward Xue Ning.
“Then what should we do? She won’t even be able to finish a scene!” Lin Qi frowned. “And she even dragged you into so many additional scenes.”
“Then we’ll have to change people,” Ye Shengge said with a smile. “I don’t mind pushing her out of the cast at all.”
Back then, she had asked Xu Xiangjie to sign Mu Xiaoya because she hadn’t fallen out with Mu Yanhuai yet.
Now that she had broken up with Mu Yanhuai, she was more than happy to kick Mu Xiaoya out.
